to which it appertaine to ineke and nseelle' same This invention relaiee to sieionery, enel more especially to fountain ini?. sands heving a compressible bag; and the object of the same is to produce :i device of this hind in which the ink is forced from the well upward into the hopperby a pressure device sei: hy henri, end in which 'lhe leaseA of the framework or stand constitnies a en wiper and pen rock. This object is accomplishel` by consti-raming the device in the manner hereinafter more fully described and claimed, anti es shown in The drawings gia s, Ine-5cl, or any suitable material but is shown herein as cylindrical and having a top 5 with a large opening therein. n the box-like port-ion forward of the socket 3 is disposed the pen-wiper which consists of a multiplicity of pieces or strips 6 of paper standinfr on edge and in close Contact. with each other, and on the upper edges of these strips the pen can be wiped or into an(1 hetwecn them the pen can be inserted so thail it stands upright seen et P. it ie qnie ossible that the entire framework or" the Ease may be of metal, suitably ornamenteri to give it a fanciful appearance.

aThe ink holder comprises a Well 10 here shown as consisting of a substantially heinispherical-shapecl hollow member composed of flexible material such as clasic rnhher and a hopper ll preferably in rubber and having` a cem/z vits outer woll is; formed piece li. The hopper niemher li ie circuler in eiape viewer?. from che top and on en inegrel warelij! proglccing annuler lenge to ree on the top 5 when the inl: holder inserted in the casing 1, es will he reeelilfi' understood on reierei'icev to Figs. 2 enel l, The robber well l0 has its upper eclge sur# rouncleil by a soft Iwire ring l2 which causes the open top of the well to snugly 5i; the' c5-flindricalwell of ihe hopper heneeh the flange 13, Any suitable cover may be prof vided for the con` oi' the hopper, hul; esshovvn., Ehe cover le is hinged at if! and held closed hy e catch as will he unrlerstood on. reference to compression mechanism comprises e circular pluie 2G, the upper side of which is (lished or ooncaved lo receive and soppor the holly o the heinisphericalehapeil well l0. Fcrmecl on the hotoin of che plaie 2Q are. spaced apercurefl ears 2l which receive' n pivot pin 2i', the latter also passing hrough a reduced enel or lug 23 formeel on,- lhe upturnecl lower enel of e suhsantieligrshaped lever 22, shown more clearly in el.. The upperend of lche lever is reocefl to form an aperturefl ear which pivoiecl on a pin 24 passing through spaced logs 25 projecting at right angles from the'npper enel of' a plaie 25 rigidly fastened on the inner wall of the casing 4l, see Fig. 3. ln "che lower portion of the plaie 25 is e threaded opening lio receive an adjusiing screw 28 having a head or finger piece ai. its einer emi. Its inner end is rounded to engage a Wea-i' plate 27 attached?y to a nrojecion or enlargement 22, che wear plete being provided when the lever is made of wood or the like. The projec'ion 2211 has its outer face opposed to the screw disposed in a substantially veri-ical plane, so that' when the screw is lurnel in an inward direction the'ever will lie on its pivot 2 and iis inner end caused to sawing the lever lo raise the clishccl plate 20 so that the inlr well 10 is compressed from is lower enel whereby the ink is forced upward through the hopper 11. anni rises to a s'cilicicnt height therein to permit the pen io be clipped into it. 'When' tlie levice is out of use emporarily the .cover is closed; when the device to he out of use permanently, ocrhe'es overnight, lic screw 28 is given r ew' reolnlions lo tie lofi, and "rho mneive iencleicy -iherubber of Vhe weil niecle will conse il; o ren sinne itsnormal shape so'that the ink within the hopper 11 will be sucked downoutthe. saine as will be clear.

the well with its hopllo clean the device,

the easing 4 and then per 11 is lifted out of the parte may bel thoroughlyr cleaned. parts are then put together and re-inherted in the Aopening in the to of the cas- Attention is directed'to t e fact that,

although the hase israther heavy and there 'y is little likelihood that this stand will upset,

than as herein stated, the materials happen, the ink are not essential, nor their size and tion. i y

What is claimed as new is: The herein described ink well comprising an upright easing having an opening in its top, a bracket secured on the inner Wall of the casing and having a threaded opening and spaced apertured lugs at its top, an ink' y hopper isfremoved from the well so that both These holder 'comprising an elastic hemispherical 4bag and a hop er removably arranged in its open top and ormed with an annular flange to rest on said casing when the bag`is inserted in the opening in the top of the easing, a J-shaped lever having at its topan apertured ear arranged between said lugs and a slibstantially vertical Contact face disposed opposite said threaded opening in the bracket,` the lower curved end of the lever extendingI inwardly and upwardly, a dished plate pivoted on said inner end of the lever and in contact with the bottom of said bag, a pivot passing through said lugs and ear, and an adjusting screw passing through the casing and the threaded opening in the bracket for engagement with said vertical face of the lever7 substantially as shown and described.,

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.-
